  • Where Are They Indeed?

    George Rebane There are about 2,500 galaxies (not stars) in the picture below – each of even the smallest dots is a galaxy.  Each such galaxy has about 300 billion stars, and each star has at least five planets.  Today we can see over 2,000,000,000,000 = 2 trillion such galaxies.  Fainter galaxies exist but don’t…

  • Agenda21 to SDGs to Agenda 2030

    George Rebane RR has covered the Agenda21 story extensively over the years primarily in its role as a template for leftwing objectives that their politicians’ public policies seek to fulfill.  (see 'Agenda 21' category) This non-binding UN initiative was formalized in 1992 and signed by over 100 nations.  The US (under Bush1) became a signatory. …

  • The happier place, America or Europe? (updated 25sep19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 18 September 2019.  An edited version was printed (here) in the 21sep19 edition of The Union.] Our national Left has loudly included in their narrative to fundamentally transform America, that the Europeans are a much happier lot than we poor polarized…

  • An Illustration of Liberal Ethics, Morals, Logic, …

    George Rebane The 22aug19 Union has a prominent column by Ms Susan Rogers, a very liberal member of the newspaper’s editorial board.  There in ‘Plenty of shame to go around’ she equates the thuggish behavior of county Democrats at Representative LaMalfa’s recent town hall, with the congressman’s socio-political ideology as expressed through his legislative work. …

  • Scattershots – 20aug19 (updated 23aug19)

    “nothing should be done by the state which can be better or as well done by voluntary effort”, William Ewart Gladstone (1809 – 1898) George Rebane I’m old enough to remember when TVs were the big new whizbang thing.  We common folks were then told of all the wonders that a live screen with sound…

  • On Smaller Governments and Corporations

    “The skill of making and maintaining Commonwealths, consisteth in certain rules as doth Arithmetic and Geometry”,  John Hobbes in the Leviathan. George Rebane Time to review some important tenets of my credo as they impact Rebane Doctrine’s prescriptions for the size and complexity of good governments, good businesses, and good organizations in general.  I do…

  • Demise of Capitalism?

    George Rebane The world’s population is stabilizing, if not starting to ‘stagnate’, and will soon start declining.  This argument and its impacts on humanity are presented in two newly published books – The Human Tide: How Populaton Shaped the Modern World (2019) by Paul Morland, and Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline (2019)…

  • Steven Frisch answered, yet again (updated)

    George Rebane Mr Steven Frisch is one of, if not the, leading leftwing intellectuals in the northern Sierra.  He earns his keep as CEO of the Sierra Business Council, a cynically named non-profit, progressive NGO that promotes all manner of leftwing policies and causes in this part of California.  SBC also consults to regional government…

  • The Lone Wolf Killers

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 August 2019.] Each spate of mass shootings reveals yet another aspect of current American politics and how easy it is to manipulate the country’s masses.  As a result of the El Paso and Dayton massacres we are drenched in daily…

  • Democrats’ Big Lie #3671 – America’s economy

    George Rebane In the lead-up to the 2020 election, our Left has marshalled their legion of liars to spread the word to the lightly read that Trump’s revamping of our economy to historical levels has not happened, and that only the top 1% derived any benefit from the tax cuts and regulation rollbacks.  This kind…
